“Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier bring us so little happiness? The simple answer: because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it.” Albert Einstein.
The other day when I went to pick up some cork samples I saw the following advertisement of Tripecork, which I think is quite right.
The five reasons it gives to choose a cork are the following:
1. Quality opens with a cork. The Best Top. Nowadays this is true since a high quality wine is sealed with a high quality cork.
2. Natural, renewable, recyclable and biodegradable. Do not contaminate. Totally true and more nowadays because of the carbon print topic; it’s always better to use a recyclable and biodegradable compound rather than one coming from petroleum.
3. The Alcornocal, diversity source. The cork extraction guarantees its future. The Alcornoques mountains in Spain should be declared World Heritage if they have not been yet: there are few ecosystems such as the Spanish and Portuguese Alcornocales which have such biodiversity.

4. Ecologic. Healthy product. Guarantees food safety. Although it is totally ecologic and healthy, the problem is the TCA but not as much as it seems since a high quantity of wine which is identified by tasting like cork its not really that but other reasons like: reduced, origin of TeCA in wood, contamination by PCP, ethyl – guaiacol…and many others.
5. Tradition. Our land’s labour and taste. Cultural value, progress engine. The truth is the cork industry generates a big quantity of jobs in SME´s instead of in the foreigners multinationals.
Due to these five reasons and many others I think that it is a good choice to seal a wine bottle with a cork, although there are also many reasons to choose other sealing systems: price, safety TCA topic, product homogenisation….
I hope you have found this interesting and when opening a bottle take a look at the cork which is an essential point in wine.
